One of the most important and impactful ways our sister organisation Freshwater Future protects the Great Lakes is by making grants to grassroots groups working throughout the region to protect the waters in their communities. We’re now accepting grant applications through April 10, 2018 from grassroots groups engaged in local advocacy efforts to protect shorelines, inland lakes, rivers, groundwater, drinking water, and wetlands in the Great Lakes Basin.

You can find all the details you’ll need to get started on applying for a grant—including the request for proposals—here on the Freshwater Future website. And if you’re not part of a grassroots group in need of these funds, help us spread the word by forwarding this email to someone who is.
